5 Affiliate Programs to Try Out in 2018

It takes more than dollars to win at affiliate marketing.

Affiliate marketing requires understanding and skill to do well. Many entrepreneurs struggle to earn the kind of paychecks that dreams are made of. To complicate things, the internet is full of predators posing as opportunity.

But finding a good affiliate marketing network doesn’t have to be a roll of the die. By doing plenty of research and looking into the specifics, business owners can find a wealth of good options. Merchants offer different commission rates and script options so you can find one with the perfect setup one or use several.

But the money you can make is always dependent on the traffic you can drive. That means a professional website and some experience running scripts and code are helpful but basic computer skills are a must. Free programs like GIMP and Kompozer go a long way in reducing the cost of producing compelling images and audio for those of us on a budget. Just don’t mislead anyone while providing tons of back-links and relevant information.

I don’t recommend farmers lab. Their affiliate platform is outdated and they don’t offer affiliate support like others. As an AM the most I value is knowing that those companies that you are driving traffic to, see you as a partner and offer you the support to thrive with them. Not too many out there…
